Sylvia Whipple, an 86-year-old member of the Navajo Nation from Tuba City, Arizona, was last seen on March 20, 2024. Petite at 5 feet tall and about 98 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, Sylvia was reportedly at a local Denny’s that day and was later seen with her son, who served as her caretaker, at a McDonald’s in Tuba City.

Concern is acute because Sylvia is diabetic and may need medication or medical care. Her son later told authorities she was staying with other children in different states, but investigators have confirmed those claims to be untrue. There is no public information about what she was wearing or which direction she may have gone. The Navajo Police Department’s Tuba City District is handling the investigation, and the case is logged in NamUs as MP158737.

Does anyone in Tuba City or the surrounding area remember seeing Sylvia on or after March 20, 2024, or have information about her movements that could help locate her?
